Initial Start-up Instructions (Electric Motor)

Starting

CAUTION:

DO NOT attempt to operate the mixer until the Safety, General Information and Inspection sections have been read and understood.

1.Before starting, make sure mixer is positioned on a secure flat surface to prevent rolling.

2.Use an extension cord (see Table 5) of adequate current carrying capacity, insert the electric motor's power plug into one end of the extension cord.

3.NEVER! use a worn or frayed extension cord.

4.NEVER! operate mixer withV-belt cover removed.
